Ever put in the M tec shifter springs? I am contemplating getting them but would like to get your opinion on them

SL0WEGG

Just went through the entire thread for no apparent reason lol. Just seeing your attention to detail is quite inspiring. Props

SHG_EasyE

Still havent installed them, Im waiting to put them in the 6spd trans when I build that up this winter

Thanks man, I feel like my ODC is getting more severe every year lol.

Just got back from the Hondas of New England Hardparking meet, gotta thank Joe and Chris for organizing the event Felt soo good to finally drive my car again!

Heres the rest of the interior assembly, a few more touches added in some key spots...

Felt dots for the rear cover and shock covers:

Some sound deadening mat behind the rear panel:

Also had to trim the shock covers to clear the new braces

And now the moment Ive been waiting for - the final wing restoration update . Got it back from paint this morning and took a half day from work to get a bunch of stuff done before I leave for NY tomorrow.

I got some new stainless torx hardware to replace the nasty original philips head crap. Also you can see the new rubber grommets I picked up to seal the wing to the hatch

And the star of the show!

**** fits perfect, solid work

Hrmmm curious to see how much the interior noise level changed but I'm sure I'll get a ride sooner or later

That wing looks on point man can't wait to see it in person. You and the painter did a great job! Its may seem crazy to put that much effort into the wing but things like that completely make the car.

Looking forward to the weekend

Damn E the work is looking AMAZING! Can't wait to see some shots of that wing. Such a fresh EP3

SHG_EasyE

Interior noise is significantly less now. Even driving in the rain today there is barely and water noise not to mention the exhaust noise is much quieter too! ALL the rattles are also gone, except for a couple in the doors, but Ill get to those soon

Thanks bro! I should have some good shots after this weekend!

I'm curious E, why not just do dyno mat? Is it a cost issue, not OE or just wanting to try something new? The work is amazing as usual of course.

so i know you like doing things your self and what not, but your man hours put into that wing, did it really save you money over buying a real mugen wing?

SHG_EasyE

Cost, and the fact that once you put that stuff on it never comes off. I've got a weird thing about putting sound deadening on the chassis itself, I'd much rather put it on the panels.

Well I have about $350 into this wing all said and done, and a mugen wing would run me 1000-1500 plus paint, and that's if I could actually find one since they're discontinued now.

I know that technically my time is worth money, but that money and the money that comes out of my bank account and pays my bills are very different haha.

The wing came out awesome Evan

I followed your lead today and eliminated some rattling in my car today. Great work on the hatch, always enjoy tuning in for updates.

makes sense Lol. and i guess it builds your skills up at the same time. so you have no issue running knock off parts as long as fitment and quality are up to par?

SHG_EasyE

I dont mind certain knock-off parts. Nothing wrong with wanting the nice look of a high end part but not having the money to spend on the real thing. Story of my life lol. As long as someone doesnt try to front like its the real deal who cares

GetEfdupEH

You did a great job on the prep work becuase thats 90% of the job but whoever painted that wing really knows how to sling the gun. Best of luck on the rest of the build buddy.
